I've been having a lot of vivid dreams lately and hardly remembering any of them, but last night - more like this morning, because I woke up around 1am and lay there for a long while before falling back asleep, and this dream happened after that - I dreamed that we were adopting the baby daughter of someone I knew in high school, whom I'm friends ( Read more... )

Lately I've been having a lot of dreams about moving - not of my current family moving out of our current house, but dreams where what's happening is I'm packing to move to or from one or another house or apartment. Happened two or three times in the past week, which I thought was interesting, especially because my usual recurring dream theme is ( Read more... )

The prince came down from his nap this afternoon and said he had felt like he was flying. When he got out of his bed he tried to stop. So he had a flying/floating dream, neat, it didn’t scare him, and I taught him the word “landing” for “stop flying.”

Tonight when I put him to bed I sat for a few minutes reading as usual and then got up to tuck him ( Read more... )

Sunday night into Monday morning, the prince came in to our room at about 3:30 to ask his dad to tuck him back in - I cannot wait for that child to work out how to get under his own damn covers, I tell you what - and we both had trouble getting back to sleep after that.

I dreamed I saw a picture from Ivanka's wedding, in which she was standing at the back of the venue before the ceremony, waiting for her father to come walk her down the aisle, watching him approach in that goofily rapturous way she always seems to look at him (and, to be fair, brides often do look at their dads), as he approached - eating a piece ( Read more... )

My therapist agrees that the recent (and two for two) attempted-sexual-assault theme in my dreams represents The Virus itself and how one is afraid of it as an assaultive force. She also, more interestingly (at least I think so), wondered if my anxiety dreams have had a travel theme only since my dad died or whether I had that sort of dream before ( Read more... )

The prince woke up at 4:30 this morning, which is (a) thankfully no longer normal and (b) the worst possible time, because it's too early to be up for the day but too late to get any good sleep after getting him back down again. So that was fun; I spent 20 minutes nursing him and putting him back to bed and then I went back to bed myself - at which ( Read more... )

Sometimes dreams are so obvious a seven-year-old child could interpret them. About 2am last night I dreamed that I opened a window when it was 40 degrees (F) outside and then went to go pee for the second time in about five minutes ( Read more... )
